What's new in screen-3.6 ?
----------------------------
* Input translation! This makes the vt100 emulation complete.
As an addition it is now possible to bind any command to any
(function-) key. See the man page for more details (bindkey
command).
* Status line support. Each window can have a different status line.
Use the ANSI APC string to set the status line, i.e.:
<ESC>_<status string><ESC>\
(For convenience the xterm sequence is also accepted.)
You may want to add
termcap * '' ':hs:ts=\E_:fs=\E\\:ds=\E_\E\\:'
terminfo * '' ':hs:ts=\E_:fs=\E\\:ds=\E_\E\\:'
to your ~/.screenrc to make screen advertise the hardstatus
support.
* Zombie feature added. Windows now may generate a message (with a
timestamp) if they die and stay around until the user presses
a key.
* New paste syntax: Paste can now concatenate registers and paste
either on screen or in anouther register.
This makes the old "ins_reg", "copy_reg" commands obsolete.
* More architecures supported. Screen now runs on AIX3.2.5,
Solaris, NeXT and some other exotic platforms.
* Kanji support added. Screen understands JIS, EUC and SJIS coding.
This is an experimental feature.
* GR charset switching (ISO 2022) implemented. Can be enabled with
the "gr" command.
* C1 sequences implemented (see the "c1" command).
* Tek support from Xiaoguang Zhang. Apply tek.patch if you want to
make screen pass tek sequences.
* List of new commands:
bindkey, c1, command, defc1, defgr, defkanji, gr, kanji, mapdefault,
mapnotnext, maptimeout, pastefont, printcmd, readreg, stuff, zombie
* Lots of other bugs fixed.
